Hot Takes

- What a start to the season. In a rare Week 1 - Rivalry week matchup Grown Man Poop took down Little Spoon. The big difference in this one was Josh Jacobs big 33 points, as the rest of this was a traditional Grown Man Poop "everyone do a some, but nobody will kill it" week. There was also a little bit of irony in Poop using the Pats defense to beat Little Spoon, who rode the pats D's historic fantasy season all the way to The Finals last year.

- Apparantly Fort Dix's robust scoring was not enough to make believers out of voters this week. 



Dix has gotten off to fast starts before (he's also gotten off to slow starts), but in his fourth year in the league, this team looks like his best chance to make some noise in the Thunderdome that is our league's* postseason.

- Probably the most unexpected result of Week 1  was the Show Me Your TDs win over Bob Bruton. Bob got exactly what he expected when he paid handsomely for Clyde Edwards-Helaire**, but the rest of his team let him down, led by face of the franchise Michael Thomas. This is still a good roster, and will hopefully start performing to their abilities in Week 3.

- Prime Time is probably wondering what he did to piss off the fantasy gods. Most weeks the 4th highest score in the league gets you a W, just like most weeks you'd be kicking yourself for leaving Cam and his 25 points on the bench. This week, however, Prime got 30 from Aaron Rodgers, and ended up playing the 2nd highest scoring team in the league in Fort Dix. 

- In addition to TDs and Poop, Noodle Soup and the Burning Sensations got off to the kinds of starts they wanted to. In Soup's case, he didn't score as many points as he wanted, but he still cruised to a fairly comfortable W, and still looks strong enough on paper to have garnered a 1st place vote in the Coaches Poll.

- Looking ahead to next week, we do have one Rivalry Week matchup between Bob and DBT. However, the most intruiging game to me is between Prime and Poop. Prime scored enough in week 1 to win most of the time, and will look to take out his frustration on the #2 team in the coaches poll. 

That's all for this week. Terrible luck to all of you in Week 2.

*The most elite fantasy football league in the world.

**No one cares how much they spent on a guy when he puts up 19 in his NFL debut.

Antonio Brown Poop 9. Bob Bruton 10. Southern Comfort 11. Dom Toretto 12. Prime Time Hot Takes - There were more muscles flexed in Week 2 than in the beach volleyball scene in Top Gun. Five teams cleared 130 points, including an epic match between Show me your TDs and Burning Sensations where both went over. BS and TDs locked up in a dual that showed that TD's is playing for keeps this year, as long as the definiton of playing for keeps still involves starting anyone on the Lions or former uga players. One other note on this matchup, Burning Sensations put up this robust score even while getting a zero from Kenny Golliday. - Just like we all thought, Dom Toretto was the high score of the week. What makes this even more astounding is Leonard Fournette and his 25 points enjoyed this ...

Bob Bruton 9. Dom Toretto 10. Prime Time 11. Antonio Brown Poop 12. Southern Comfort Hot Takes - A shake up was promised in the polls, and shakeup is what you got. Three different teams recieved first place votes in week three, one week after a near unanimous number one. Noodle Soup and Burning Sensations recreated the shower scene from American History X in their respective matches, winning by a combine 130 points. The wild part about that is their oppenents didn't even have bad weeks. Prime Time put up a robust 121 points, AND LOST BY 62. Soup came within 4 points of setting a new one week record for highest score, and the Sensations weren't far behind. It was a strong week by these two contendors, and a message sent to the rest of the league. - The other team recieving first place votes ...
